name ncep
conditionsOfAccess Private
description NCEP-GFS hourly worldwide weather 5-days forecast on 0.25 degree grid, updated every 6 hours. Temporal resolution is of 1 hour out to 120 hours, then 3 hours for days 5-16, has 57 vertical standard pressure levels, and is cycled 4x/day. This dataset is not intended for general public access since the original row dataset is freely distributed by NOAA-NCEP.
